Over the summer months you will probably see many different varieties of chicken burgers on these pages because I barbeque them quite often. Some will be with ground chicken or turkey, but, my favourite way is to keep the boneless breast whole. Chicken burgers are so versatile and lend themselves to a variety of flavourings like all burgers. They are also easy and quick to prepare with little or no cleanup. To me that is the perfect summer meal!!! Today in honour of my blog sister Ivy... who wows us with delicious Greek and Cypriot dishes from Athens... I offer you a Greek inspired chicken burger.

The breast is marinated in a combination of oil and oregano, grilled to perfection and then topped with tzatziki and a mixture of tomatoes, feta and red onion. Here is Ivy's own recipe for tzatziki as well to add that extra bit of authentic touch.

Spread your favorite bun with some tzatziki, top with some roasted red peppers, some crisp romaine lettuce, and a thick cut red onion slice. Add the chicken breast and top with the feta and tomato mixture.

You know we all love your blog this much.........You know, I hate people who claim they can make a healthy burger and then it looks so horrible and inedible. I am awarding you...Queen of the healthy burger. I agree with Peter - put MC out of business.

Congratulations on your very well deserved award, my dear! You can guarantee I'll be making your delicious burgers soon! They sound just scrumptious! And you know how much we like our chicken burgers at the canaryhouse. :D

mmm...greek flavors are absolutely some of my favorites, and i love a good chicken burger, sometimes more than a beef burger. but keep that quiet, would ya? my cattle-farming uncle would have a fit. :)

Val, your burger is perfect and healthy and juicy. Yummy, I am drooling. Wish I had one right now as I'm starving with this diet. Thanks very much for your kind words and I know that they come from your heart.

Jen: Please do take a look at the other blogs. They are well worth a visitPeter: In Greece I found they offered Greek salad and tzatziki on the menu at mcD's and their fries were cooked in olive oil. As far as fries go it seeme3d that in all restaurants they had delicious fries wherever I went that would rival the best anywhere!!!Peter G: It had to be a Greek tribute to IvyHoneyB: Thank youMarie: I agree who needs beef, but it is OK once in a while!!!Glamah & Lydia: Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nina: Thanks for awarding me Queen of the Healthy Burger:DNikki: I'll look forward to what you have in mind for chicken burgers!!!Sylvie: Thank you!Grace:It's our little secret:DParker: Thank youBen: Better get that grill soon even a hibachi will do!!!!Ashley: It will be nice to be free!Shortie, Sandie & Nic: Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to commentJudy: I love a good chicken breast burgerGloria: I hope your kids will like it:DIvy: As always...we love you this much--------------------------------------------------------------

Big congrats on your award! And the chicken "boi-gah" looks completely delicious. We experimented with some Greek inspired sliders a couple of months ago and really enjoyed them, but they were made with lamb. I'd love to try the chicken!

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
